The Ashanti Expedition, Scenes on the Gold Coast
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating photograph that takes us back to the 19th century. Captured by an English photographer, this print showcases a momentous event in history. The image belongs to a private collection and was originally published in The Illustrated London News on December 21,1895. In this photo, we are transported to Accra, where native women are seen wearing intricate head dresses while bustling through a vibrant market place. The scene also includes glimpses of tribal court proceedings and the architecture of the court house. We catch a glimpse of the native king surrounded by his subjects and witness members of the Gold Coast Constabulary engaging in discussions with officers at their mess house. The Ashanti Expedition marked an important chapter in Ghana's history as it brought about new markets and opportunities for trade along the Gold Coast. This photograph captures not only historical events but also provides insight into the cultural fabric of this region during that time period. With its rich detail and composition, this image allows us to immerse ourselves in these significant moments from centuries ago. It serves as a visual reminder of our shared pasts and invites us to reflect upon how far we have come since then.
